Requests:  0 Summary:  Sixteen-year-old Manisha is no stranger to monsters--she's been running from them for years, from beasts who roam the jungle to the King's army, who forced her people, the naga, to scatter to the ends of the earth. You might think that the kingdom's famed holy temples atop the floating mountains, where Manisha is now a priestess, would be safe--but you would be wrong. Seventeen-year-old Pratyush is a famed slayer of monsters, one of the King's most prized warriors and a frequent visitor to the floating temples. For every monster the slayer kills, years are added to his life. You might think such a powerful warrior could do whatever he wants, but true power lies with the King. Tired after years of fighting, Pratyush wants nothing more than a peaceful, respectable life. When Pratyush and Manisha meet, each sees in the other the possibility to chart a new path. Unfortunately, the kingdom's powerful have other plans. A temple visitor sexually assaults Manisha and pushes her off the mountain into a pit of vipers. A month later, the King sends Pratyush off to kill one last monster (a powerful nagin who has been turning men to stone) before he'll consider granting his freedom. Except Manisha doesn't die, despite the hundreds of snake bites covering her body and the venom running through her veins. She rises from the pit more powerful than ever before, with heightened senses, armor-like skin, and blood that can turn people to stone. And Pratyush doesn't know it, but the "monster" he's been sent to kill is none other than the girl he wants to marry. Audience:  Ages 14-18 Hyperion. Grades 10-12 Hyperion.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status Due Date   Aiea Public Library Acquisitions --- On Order     in Processing   Add Copy to MyList Aina Haina Public Library YA -- New Books Patel   Checked out 05/18/2024 Add Copy to MyList Ewa Beach P/S Library YA -- Fiction Patel V.1 Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library YA -- New Books Patel   Checked out 05/28/2024 Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library YA -- Fiction Patel   Checked out 05/17/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library YA -- Fiction Patel   Checked out 05/28/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library YA -- Fiction Patel   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Acquisitions --- On Order     in Processing   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library YA -- Fiction Patel   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Keaau P/S Library Acquisitions --- On Order     in Processing   Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 3 4 Next
